Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW)

BOW is an award-winning, international outdoor skills program designed specifically for women. More than 40 states and six provincial natural resource agencies create 70+ BOW workshops per year.

More than 20 states/provinces offer Beyond BOW -- single topic learning clinics and adventures. These might include a day of fly fishing, an actual pheasant hunt, sea kayaking, caving, clamming, sailing, the sky's the limit.

Participants range in age from 18-80+. People of all backgrounds and physical abilities are welcome. BOW is a non-profit, non-membership organization.
